SOLVED CS Wont show up

[Lizard]

Hey guys

I can't get the game (ATDD) to show my custom story. I have look through both my extra_english.lang file and my custom_story_settings.cfg file and everything seems fine to me and I've also added cusstom_stories to the resources.cfg file
.

Everything is placed where they should be placed.
I've tried to re-instal the game 2 times and I've also tried to change profil, but it simply wont show up.

What's your startmap?

You can omit the position (it'll pick one)
but I don't think you can omit map mate.

Either way it's worth a try.

Adding the StartMap did not help

ImgFIle is written with a capital I. Try to fix that so that it says ImgFile.

[Lizard]

It did not help either

[Mudbill]

Could you zip it up and upload the entire thing? Feel free to omit any extra maps as long as it has the start map.

[Lizard]

It would't attach it. So uploaded it to mediafile

- Well first off, and this is quite obvious, you haven't written down what map should start the custom story.
You need to add the name of one of your maps in StartMap="" within your settings file.

- Another thing which may be an issue is that you named your map with a . (full stop) in the name. I recommend not doing so, so change to 00_BedroomHallway.map instead of 00.BedroomHallway.map.

- ImgFile is still written with a capital second I, so update that.

- You have some syntax errors in your script file. It should still allow you to see the story in the list, but it will crash when you click start on it. OnStart, OnEnter and OnLeave should not have a semi-colon at the end of the constructors.

- The resources.cfg file is correct HOWEVER it isn't in the right place (unless this was just when you zipped it up?). It must be located in the root folder for Amnesia. But just for a custom story, the resources.cfg file isn't required to make it work, so I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

I files i uploaded i can see was the old copy, where ImgFile was wrong and where StartMap wasen't filled out, but that is done in my amnesia folder.

the resources is in my amnesia folder where it should be, it was just put there to gather it all in one file when i uploaded it.

I've tried to add a _ Instead of a . in the hps and map file, but that did not help either

I just tested your custom story.
I put the file in the custom_stories folder.
I deleted the resources.cfg since it shouldn't be there anyway.
I changed the custom_story_settings.cfg to look like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

<Main
        Name = "A Fathers Secret"
        Author = "Lizard"
        ImgFile = ""
        
        MapsFolder = "maps/"
        StartMap = "00.BedroomHallway.map"
        StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
/> 


I did not change the name of the map.

The custom story showed up as it should.


If you download someone else's custom story, does that show up?
If you create a dummy custom story, does that show up?
